5 recent news and rumors about Roman Reigns: Update on future with WWE, backstage disagreement with Vince McMahon, "interesting finish" planned for Brock Lesnar match

#2 Roman Reigns would have no problem "smashing" The Rock

Over the past year, there has been plenty of speculation suggesting that Roman Reigns is being set up for a program with The Rock. There have also been conflicting reports about whether WWE wants the eight-time WWE Champion to return at WrestleMania 38 in Dallas or at WrestleMania 39 in Los Angeles.

In an interview with Complex, Reigns admitted that The Rock is his dream opponent.

"I think there’s an obvious one out there with Dwayne, the Rock. Do either of us really need it? No. But I think it’s something that the fans want to see. They kind of clamor over it and they make their comments and they gossip, and it seems to be that talk that’s constantly brought up. Obviously, we want to please our audience and we want to service them. So if that’s something that they’re into, I have no problem smashing him," said Roman Reigns.

Ever since his last match at WrestleMania 29, there has been speculation about The Rock returning to the ring. However, The People's Champion has a number of commitments to fulfill before he returns to the wrestling ring.
